Beginnning on Monday, April 20, 2015, our auction will go live, so please bid enthusiastically! This auction will culminate on the evening of our benefit, May 13th at the Columbia Country Club!
For the past 17 years, the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.) has provided specialized, high quality adoption competent mental health and support services for the foster and adoption community. Adoption builds forever families; C.A.S.E. builds strong, secure families. Many of the children we support have been impacted by abuse, neglect and trauma - others are navigating their personal adoption journeys. And sadly some children never have found a family to call theirs. Deemed a national leader in the adoption field, C.A.S.E. has touched the lives of thousands of children and their families near and far. Proceeds from this event will allow us to continue providing these valuable, unique, and much needed services in our community and grow our tree!
